The below code will return the lat & lon values, when i click any where on the map. The result is lon=8931183.8958044,lat=1456094.8596215

map.events.register('click', map, handleMapClick);
function handleMapClick(e)
{
var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromViewPortPx(e.xy);
alert(lonlat);
}

how to get the lat & lon exactly when clicking on the map what is the extact format for lat and lon?

Kindly advice me!

Does this actually have anything to do with Google Maps? If not you should remove that tag. –  geocodezip Jun 13 '13 at 20:44

Does this actually have anything to do with OpenStreetMap? If not you should remove that tag/title. This is an OpenLayers issue. –  scai Jun 15 '13 at 12:52

Found the solution: 

  //defining the projection
    var fromProjection = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326");   
    var toProjection   = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913");

    //getting the bounds
    var mapbounds = map.getExtent();

    //transform bounds to lat& long
    var val = mapbounds.transform(toProjection, fromProjection );
